A new limiter effect: “Limiter 2” (to distinguish it from Audacity’s current limiter)
I think it should be reasonably obvious how to use the effect.
Here’s the plug-in:

Installations instructions are the same as for any other Nyquist plug-in: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug-ins#Installing_plug-ins

Hi Steve,
Looks interesting but does not work in 2.4.2.
Is there some Nyquist function that is only available or updated in newer versions?
I notice too that the heading says attack and release but the GUI only shows a release control.
Full debug report attached.

Strange, it works with Audacity 2.4.2 here.
No, the header says “Lookahead (ms)” and “Release (ms)”.
This is a screenshot of it running in 2.4.2 with default settings:

Thanks Steve, I suspect something went wrong with the download.
Re-downloaded the plugin and all good.
Sorry about the false alarm.
Works really well.

Good that it’s not restricted to -10db, like its predecessor

It can quite happily go well below -20 dB. I originally had the scale going down to -30 dB, but thought that was a bit excessive - what do you think would be a useful minimum?
